ASVA Event Posting Policy: We will post any events put on by partner organizations and active ASVA members. We will also post any free local events that would benefit our membership. Non-partnering organizations offering a NCCAOM approved PDA event will need to offer ASVA members at least a 10% discount on the course if they would like us to list it on our webpage. To post an eventcontact Sarah.

Description: This course will examine the role of practitioner safety and the role ethics have in the modern acupuncture practice and common situations which practitioners may encounter. The course will be two hours in length and include both a didactic presentation and group discussion. Similar to other Grand Rounds, courses attendees and presenter will be able to interact to review the many aspects of safety issues and ethics in a medical practice.

Interested in becoming at presenter and sharing an educational case? We are still looking for a couple acupuncturists who can share their experiences with others. Contact event coordinator Stephanie Pina at spinanmd@yahoo.com for more information and guidelines.

$89 Hotel Group Rate available until July 16th. Call the Holiday Inn Richmond Bells South at 804-592-2900 to make your reservation. Ask for the "Acupuncture Society of Virginia Group Rate"

Course Description:

Insurance Billing Essentials

Effective Oct 1, ALL providers will be required to use a new set of diagnosis codes. These codes are MUCH more specific than the old ICD9. For some codes you will be required to report whether this is the initial encounter for this condition as well as more specificity in general. You’ll understand just how this works and you’ll get documentation of the typical diagnosis codes you see in your practices.

In this course you will learn:

How to understand the ICD-10 Codes which take effect Oct 1, 2015

How to use the new CMS form to your advantage

Documentation Requirements – Give Insurance Carriers What they want

New VA requirements and what you need to do to treat Federal WC patients

Insurance Carrier updates – what’s the latest with the major carriers

You’ll leave class understanding the whys and hows of the new codes along with “cheat sheets” of the new ICD10 codes that are considered medically necessary for acupuncturists.

Along with the new codes is a new claim form. You’ll learn what is absolutely necessary to include on the form, what is optional, and two letter descriptors to give the carriers more information.

Plus ASVA is giving back at this event to help support the Pan African Acupuncture Project!

We will be collecting supplies and donations at the Richmond event to be sent to the Pan African Acupuncture Project, which offers acupuncture and holistic treatment services and training to areas in need. We will be posting more information on this soon, but in the meantime please check out their website at http://globalacupuncture.org/.
